With our fun little quizzes, you will start by learning about common birds and their families, and progressively discover new species by unlocking new challenges. Your rank will grow and you'll be an expert birder in no time!
"Name the bird!" includes:
• 100 quizzes, covering 38 bird families and over 1000 species
• 5 levels of difficulty, from beginner to expert
• A "misidentified" bird list, so you can go back and learn more
• Leaderboards, to see how you compare with other birders at your level
• Bird descriptions, and beautiful photos to dig deeper
This app says it’s free, but it charged for some of its quizzes. Pictures are often hard to see. Save your tome for a better app.
This game is a lot of fun, but it needs some work. The interface needs some, but the photos need the most. The framing/cropping on a lot of photos make the bird difficult to see, and one photo I've come across actually had the bird's name right on it. So, this game is a lot of fun, and I'm going to continue playing it, but it feels like a first draft. I'm sure that a polished version will be fantastic.
Offers you several photos of birds, where the bird is sometimes half out of the shot and is sometimes clearly not the same bird as the photo before, and four entirely disparate types of bird names to choose from which might identify the bird. A type of finch might have: trumpeter swan, fish crow, lesser goldfinch, and American robin. Now, is that really a quiz on identification of finches or just identifying which of those is a finch name? Anyone in their right mind would restrict the answer choices to a similar category as the correct answer. They might as well have included “whole wheat bread”, “George W. Bush”, and “beluga whale” as the other choices. ?
